turn it in the direction of the hands of a watch. See lines

2. When a circle comes between two strokes forming an 
angle, turn it outside of the angle. See lines 5 and 6. 

3. O may be omitted in the middle of words, but its inser- 
tion is always in good form if a better outline can be secured 
by its use. See line 7.

Write answers to the following questions: 

In what direction is R and L made ? 

What can you say regarding the length of TH? 

How is the ciicle written between two strokes forming an 
angle? 

How is the circle turned on straight strokes not forming an 
angle? 

What can you say regarding the use of silent or obscure 
letters? 



LESSON II. 

WORDSIGNS AND CONTRACTIONS. 

It is a safe estimate that one hundred and fifty of our 
common words, repeated time and again, make up at least 
half of the English language. It would be unwise to use 
long forms for these words. 

If a word is contracted to a single stem, it is called a 
wordsign. If the shortening process leaves the word with 
two or more strokes, it is usually known as a contraction. 

Care should be exercised in making these outlines per- 
fectly, and they should be thoroughly committed to memory. 

Two or more words, not of the same parts of speech, 
may be represented by the same sign, and the right word 
is easily determined by context. 

PHRASING. 

Judicious phrasing is an aid to both speed and legibility. 
A phrase may be made where two or more words join easily, 
and their grammatical construction will permit of phrasing. 
See list of phrases below.

CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND. 
LESSON II— Continued. 

PUNCTUATION. 

A period may be represented by leaving a space between 
sentences, or by the use of a small cross. 

Where other punctuation marks may seem necessary, 
they may be used as in longhand. The dash, however, 
should be cancelled by a stroke made in the direction of TH.

4. U is joined as a hook when convenient, allowing the 
pen to take the same motion used in making U. When U 
does not join as a hook, an angle is formed. Note the 
following joinings:

5. When the first or second stroke is a curve, and the 
two strokes do not form an angle, place the circle inside 
of the first curve. See line 4. 

Remark. No angle is considered between P and B and 
a following straight stroke. See line 10. 

Likewise, no angle is considered between T and F-V 
or D and F-V. See line 11. 

Make a distinct angle between R and F, and between 
L and F or V. See line 11.

LESSON V. 

SECTION I. 

W WH Y G S-Z (down) N (up) 

6. W has the sound of U and is represented by the character 
for U. W is usually followed by a vowel, and care should be 
taken to keep the circle vowel outside the hook. 

£ we £ way ^ woo c= p— wait 

g2- wake P^^villow < 2 & widow / weave 

7. WH is phonetically sounded HW, as in WHAT. Leave 
off the H and we have WAT, but by prefixing the sound of 
H, we get HWAT, or as spelled, WHAT. 



- 2 - wheat <= ^' whack ^ wheel ( whip 

8. Y has the sound of long E at the beginning of words 
and is given the same sign as for E. A loop is formed for 
the joining of any two circle vowels, hence Y followed by a 
circle vowel would be indicated by a loop. The loop is 
small for E and larger for A and O. 

& Yale <3=r ~ yet <f year C ^V yoke 

9. G is joined to R and L by using a large hook at the 
beginning. 



* 




grave ^/ S^ £>^gf?adual <^r grab 



10. S has two forms called first and second S, which are 
traced downward. When S is used alone the second form is 
written. 

<? his <? easy <J see c) say 

Copyright, 1912 Page eight 



CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND. 
LESSON V— Continued. 

When no vowel intervenes, the first S is used without 
forming an angle before consonants traced from left to right. 
This naturally forms a hook which should be made small 
to tell it from G before R and L. There is no appendage 
more easily formed than a hook, and S being of frequent 
recurrence, adds a speed giving quality found in no other 
system. 

y^ stop ^7^ steep ^ slack <^< slip 



c *-~ 3 ^school ^-^smell ^^scar ^_^^" skill 

Turn S in the most convenient way when joined to 
other strokes. Select the one making the best joining. When 
both joinings are equally good, use the second S. 



<=+ — said ?^ hustles

f/f spools ^— '-^schools 

9^ face ^f? case ^3 miss <^r?* aims 

SeS or ZeS is made by joining both forms of S without 
an angle. In forming SeS after vowels, all that is necessary 
is to turn S in the opposite direction from the natural way.

11. SH represents the syllable, tion, sion, etc. 

C7—7* addition f session 9/ fashion { 2_^ accession 

SECTION II. 

12. N like S has two strokes, but instead of being traced 
downward, they are traced with a forward and upward move- 
ment. The two forms will be known as first N and second N. 

When N is the only stroke, or where there appears to 
be no choice, use the first N. 




ince J^ sense 



N may be joined to SH, CH, J, F, V and S, without an 
angle at the beginning of words, thus forming a hook. N as a 
hook will not clash with U, but if it seems desirable to make 
a difference the N hook may be made larger than the hook 
for U. N, like S is of very frequent recurrence and the 
hook is a great aid to speed. Note the following joinings: 

1 NSH <7 NCH /O NT <7 NF 1 NV /? NS 



/J NCH si NJ /I NF n 



When the first N does not make a good joining, use the 
second N. 



0^ again £s^ gone cX? snow ^-^ keen 

The second form of N may be used as a hook at the end 
of M, P, B, CH, J, F, and V, and by turning it over a 
little, it can also be used after T, D, and K. The hook should 
be made small so that it will not conflict with G or R.

TEST QUESTIONS. 

Write S joined as a hook to all consonants taking the

before?

How are the vowels joined to W? Illustrate. 

How is Y formed? 

How is Y represented in connection with the circle

Explain the difference between N and S.

SES, or ZES?

15. Vowels, especially O, are quite generally omitted in 
words of two or more syllables. They are inserted in long 
words more for the ease of writing than because they are 
really essential to legibility. 

Where vowels are omitted they may at any time be in- 
dicated by a diacritical mark placed just under the position of 
the vowel had it been inserted. See lines 1, 2, 3 and 4. 

U and Ow are almost always omitted before N and M, 
and combinations formed from these sounds, in the middle 
of outlines. See lines 5 and 6. 

EU is generally contracted to U. See line 7. 

Where two vowel sounds come together, the most prom- 
inent is generally used. See line 8.

LESSON VJI— Continued. 

One of the missing vowels may be indicated by placing 
a dot inside the circle. See line 9. 

Quite frequently vowels join in their natural order. See 
line 10 . 

Two vowels containing a Y sound may be indicated by a 
loop. See line 10. 

E, I, and U before R, are represented by a small circle. 
See line 11'. 

1'6. The Voiced sounds, Z, ZH, and TH, as in ZEST, or 
LATHE may be distinguished from the light sound of S, 
SH, or TH, as in SET, or LATH, by placing a dot after and a 
little above the character, if it should be found desirable for 
the sake of distinction. While S and Z; SH and ZH; and the 
two sounds of TH, are represented by like signs, there is 
scarcely ever any trouble experienced in reading, as context 
will determine the right word. See line 12. 

17. B, D, and R, are seldom vocalized when used as prefixes. 
See line 13.

Gentlemen: 

When you are ready for more street car signs let me 
know and I will order them for you. I hope that you can get 
these signs put in as they will aid you very much in ad- 
vertising your school. 

I hope that you will like your new location, and that you 
will do well in making this change. 

Yours truly,
